Chapter 9



I watched her as she entered the room. She looked pissed off at being disturbed, while she shut her door behind her. I didn't have the time to move, I had no where to go. I considered making a mad dash out the door, even if she knew it was me, it wasn't like she would run after me.

3 2 1... To late...

The moment I she saw me, her eyes went wide a little, not enough that any normal person would recognize, but I saw the slight dilation in her pupils. She was very at good at keeping her cool.

"Kitty Pryde" She said, refraining from taking a seat.

"Uh, hi... um I was 'like' wondering if you could print out my schedule?" I silently begged she would be very professional, and not still desire revenge for what I called her, especially after she put me in bed for three days.

"Schedule? You've been going here for three weeks." She looked suspicious, like she knew something was up.

"Yah, well umm... I'm not very good with um... remembering...?" I made a mental not to never become a spy, I would never make it through an interrogation.

"You're not good with remembering?" She repeated, not buying it. Who would? Why wasn't I a better lair?! This would have been so much better if there had been a secretary here, what were they doing on a lunch break this early?!

"Yah, I 'like' so totally stupid sometimes!" I managed my best valley girl laugh, but it caught on my throat and came out more like a squeak.

'Please please... just let me go...' I pleaded in my head.

"Fine."

She went over to her computer, staring into the monitor Mystique began to type. I noticed a small twitch in her mouth, but ignored because the sooner I got out of there the better. She hit the enter key, and a near by printer was heard activating. A few moments later she ripped it from the machine and handed it to me.

BBBRRRRIIIINNNNGGG!!!!!!!!!

I took it and began walking out the door, not even glancing back. I searched the schedule for Kitty's first class. It was Home ec with Mrs. Robinson room 203. I made a mad dash, reading the labels off of each of the doors, and finally seeing it. I open the door and suddenly a thirty eyes were upon me, I walked over to an empty desk and silently sat down. The teacher, gazed at for me a moment blinking.

"Can I help you?" She questioned.

"What do you mean?" I asked, taking a look around and noticing that everyone was still staring.

"Well is there any thing that I can do for you?" She said rephrasing her original sentence.

"No... I'm okay." I replied confused

"Then why are you here?" She inquired.

It was in that moment I realized: this wasn't Kitty's class, Mystique had given me a false schedule. The students around me were stifling laughter, I stood up, sure my face was beat red.

"Uhh... yeah um.. sorry..." I awkwardly left the classroom. The student had stopped repressing their laughter and were cracking up, before I was out of hearing range I heard Mrs. Robinson trying to calm them down.

'That horrible horrible bitch!!!' I thought angrily, my pride having just been crushed. I stomped through the hall go towards th office, I wanted to rip off her head. I planted my feet at the door, I was going to walk into their and... I thought for a moment, I was going to walk in their and get my ass kicked, that's what. I sighed and pulled myself away from the doorway. I couldn't do anything. She had two things over me. Strength, and mutant powers. I wanted to punch something, but I would have to be something other than Mystique... Huffing I went outside, the parking lot was void of any one, but it wouldn't be the safest place to be, this school probably had someone round up anyone who cuts. So instead of lingering there, I headed over to the football field. At least there I could sit down, and if I need to, hide.

As crossed the football field I mentally recreated alot of things that happened and will happen here later. I wasn't paying attention, so when I heard someone speak I jumped.

"What are you doin' here?"

I looked over and saw that a girl was on the far side of the bleachers. A girl with a southern accent, and white streak in her hair.

"Rogue?" I asked a tad suprised, why wasn't she in class? She had her arms crossed and bore an angry look. Like mother like daughter I guess... She looked me over, sizing me up.

"You're one of the X-men aren't yah?"

"Uhh... yah, I guess..." I wasn't sure how to respond to this situation, should I try to tell her what happened? Try to bring her over to our side?

' Heh... I sound like Darthvader...' I thought to myself

"Well then bye." She gave me a look, like I was dirt and began to leave.

"Rogue, wait!" I called, she stopped and looked around at me.

"Why are there more of yah hindin' getting ready to ambush me?" She spat. Suddenly I was very tired, I hated feeling like I should do all of this crap. I didn't feel like 'converting' Rogue. I didn't want to try to be an X-men, I hated dealing with it all. I wasn't Kitty. God I wanted someone to talk to. I sighed, and replied,

"No, I ... just want someone to talk to." Okay when did I start saying what I thought?

"Why in the hell do yah wanna to talk to me?" She asked she wasn't expecting that, I guess I caught her off guard.

"Because you know what it feels like to be different, alienated... lost." I replied sitting down on the bleachers.

"What do yah mean?" I saw her think for a moment, she was delving into Kurt's memories, "You're a preppy girl, one of those straight A students that is always talkin' on the phone, and worrin' what outfit you'll wear the next day."

"Do straight A student preppy girls cut class?" I argued, I had caught her off guard again. She looked at me, eyes still holding doubt.

"So you're still an' X men and you guys tried to kill me."

"Kitty."

"What?" She asked.

"My name is Kitty." I repeated, seeing her make a decision in her eyes.

"Ah'm Rouge." She replied, and sat down next to me, "Ah'll stay but if yah try to convert me or anythin', Ah will zap yah"

'Well there goes plan 'A'' I laughed silently, then it clicked in my brain, if she touched me she would know who I was, and I could never let that happen...

"Do you want to go get something to eat?" I suggested, stomach reminding me that I had only eaten toast this morning.

"Ah guess it would be better than just sittin' here." She agreed, but I could tell that she didn't trust me yet. We both got up leaving the school.

*Read and review* Okay what do you all think? Rogue is one of my favorite characters, it's great to finally get her into the story!!! ThanX for reading you guys! And for comic book waiters, I will be sending them out one page at a time... I haven't really had any time on my hands until now! I just want to ask if you would rather have it the traditional American style of X men evolution, or anime style? I like and can do both, and will go either way. I'm just not sure which one to do. Any way write in reviews what you prefer, okay? Again ThanX!!!!
